Ridgeland police make 2nd arrest in credit union robbery

The boyfriend of a credit union employee has been arrested in connection with the robbery of the business, Ridgeland police said.

Kenyatta A. McGee, 29, was arrested Friday night in Gainsville, Ga., police said. The FBI and Georgia law enforcement agencies executed a search warrant, in which authorities seized cash from the apartment where McGee was arrested without incident, police said.

McGee was identified by Ridgeland police as "a dating acquaintance" of Olivia Walker, 31, a Members Exchange Credit Union employee who was arrested Wednesday. Walker is charged with conspiracy to commit robbery and simple robbery, police said.

The credit union on Marketridge Drive was robbed Tuesday night by a man who got in through an employee door, which police said should have been locked. The robber hid in the bank vault until two female employees came in to lock up, police said. The man knocked the two women to the floor and locked them inside the vault, police said.

The robber ran out of the bank and took off in a car that was waiting outside, police said. He got away with an undisclosed amount of cash, police said.
